Great movie..seeking information, 28 August 2007
Author: cjohn139 from United States

Always found "Back Lash" very entertaining and enjoyable production. Viewed it more that 4 times . Again this week on AMC and while watching it i noticed chairs around the fireplace Donna Reed sat in one....in scene where confrontation where Slater learns about his father...Any ways i was taken back with the fact that a chair would get my attention as i have a similer chair..Why am i bringing this to IMDb attention?

Thought i'd seek some advise from persons in props department or advise on companies that supply props like the furniture used in "Back Lash". In particular, period furniture used in Ranch house scene, the 3 chairs used around that room ..

I am aware that this request is not what IMDb is about. But, i'm hoping i could get some direction on my research. Those chairs in the Movie motivated me to seek out some info.. on them..

Thanks!!

John.
